Supporter

Nation Name Reservation:
In NationStates, when a nation isn't active (logged in) for 28 days, it ceases to exist, but
the owner can still come back and restore it just by entering the password. After a long
period of inactivity, though, the nation's name may be made available for re-use, so someone else can
create a new nation using the same name. In that case, the older nation is permanently
retired as "Ancient" and can no longer be restored.

Current site rules allow nation name re-use after five years of inactivity in nations with a
population under 500 million.
Site Supporter nations are permanently reserved and their names can never be re-used.

Telegram Stamps

Please note: Stamps do not guarantee delivery. They are returned at
the end of the day to your account whenever a recipient blocks a message with a filter or has
no inbox room to receive it—which is common when conducting a wide-scale recruitment campaign.
(Learn more.)
Telegrams must abide by site rules.

Thank you for considering the NationStates store! Your
purchase is applied to one nation. It doesn't expire: you keep it for
the lifetime of your nation. It isn't transferrable, so please
make sure you're logged in as the right nation, or, in the case of gifts, that
the right nation is displayed as a giftee at the top
of this page. If the nation ceases to exist due to inactivity,
your purchase isn't lost and will be restored along with the nation when you return.

Tip: Enter an email address in your Settings,
so you can recover your nation if you ever forget your password.

Purchases are final and non-refundable. They don't grant exemptions from site rules, and can't be
transferred or recovered from nations that are deleted by moderators.

Where "unlimited" storage is offered, we reserve the right to limit
very extreme use, beyond what could be generated by genuine site activity.

That's it! Enjoy!

Privacy

When you make a purchase, you interact with our payments provider, which depending on your choice is
either Stripe or PayPal. We only see
information about your transaction that the provider shares with us: your name and your email address,
and, in most cases, your country, the type of card you used, and the last four digits.
We store this information in order to complete the transaction and
resolve any problems or disputes that may arise. It is accessible only by site administrators, not moderators,
and kept separate from your the rest of your account data. We don't
receive any other personal information about you,
and we don't use the data we do receive for any purpose other than managing this transaction.

Occasionally a small temporary charge will appear on your bank
statement (usually $1 or less), before disappearing within a day or two.
This occurs because the card service is verifying that your bank will
approve a charge before proceeding with the main transaction. If you notice
a small charge like this on your bank statement, you can usually just
wait a day or two and it will go away. If not, please contact us!
